Lindsey Wixson & Frida Gustavsson for Mulberry Spring 2012 Campaign by Tim Walker

Hello loves<3
 So this is the Mulberry Spring Campaign for this year, which I actually really like, set (obviously) on the Brighton Pier , with a beautiful 50's pastels and a very classic English Spring time feel with the pink striped paper sweetie bags and the sticks of rock and the girls, oh I love it.

 I like that we're seeing true spring colours this year, mixed with the neutrals that we saw a lot lot lot of last year, the cheerful yellow shoes with the band of sand tone and the cream socks, the beautiful handbags, the pastel mint greens and the fresh and vibrant pink, lovely.

 I love this. Yellow is such a happy colour and this is very very close to one of my favourite shades of all time, once I found these shoes in a boutique that were canary yellow with bows on and accidentally said " If I had those shoes on I'd be happy all the time, I'd just have to look at my happy little shoes' and got 'awh'd' at by the manager.
Lose the nude sheer skirt, I bought an off nude sheer dress that I will have to show you :)
The ice cream background and prop idea is very well executed

 I like the fact that they've used English looking girls, pale skin, fair hair, English rose types, so often we see tanned to the max and a very all or nothing, you're either snow white skin with vanilla white hair or you're bronze with sultry chocolate brown locks. Here we have a more achievable look for a lot of people, and as much as I like extremes it's a nice change,and will hopefully make girls feel more body confident.

 I'm not quite sure how many people could pull this off..but I think I like it, the over sized sweets (yes, sweets not 'candy') are remarkably effective as props and give a nostalgia element to the campaign


 This is just lovely.



Darker neutrals to end,love love love the bag and shoes and girls and this whole campaign


 I had my first in bed piano lesson last week (amazing amazing amazing) I don't know why I didn't think of doing them from bed before. I had my hair cut, if anyone's interested? I also had reiki and something else...my insomnia is insane right now,but I'm also sleeping in the day? It's a bit ..well yeah.


I am in such a positive mindset at the moment, I'm so happy even though health wise stuff isn't great...even for me, I know things are going to change this year, I just have a knowing feeling. This makes me more determined and more relaxed than ever before.
Love & Sparkles, Chlay x

What. Inspires. You.

My topic for today was started by a conversation I had with my PA, and what I would love to know is.
What INSPIRES you ?
What really inspires you.

& If you like I'll tell you what inspires me..



I wish inspiration on you all, and if you don't come to an immediate answer, I'd ask you to go and think about it,because I believe that everyone needs inspiration of some kind.

PS:

I wish everyone said this to themselves and smiled in the mirror while doing so.

Just a few (grainy for jazz) photos from when she came to see me ...

Everyones suddenly talking about the length of my hair as if it grew over night, but hair cut on Thursday, eep ...what to have....

 We made jazz a giant brownie to take home:) I forgot to tell her the joke that went along with it...

 

My arm looks so small..but this is one of my favourite photos

I love her, and nearly bought her this dress...

One of the lovely gifts jazz got me:) My hair is super messy as I fell asleep but look it's a different colour ;) ANTI OMBRE actually, I have different stages of this to show you

Love you all lots, competition is still going so send in your emails of your dress size and allergies, I'm looking for some size 6 to a small 10 girls currently

Love and sparkles

A Beautiful Day...

Another handmade christmas decoration:) It was so vibrant and joyful in real life and only took us about 10 minutes to think of and create, we gathered twigs from a tree in the garden, sprayed them white and then silver before hand, so we bundles them up and put them in this vibrant blue vase that we got in Greece :)

Then we collected bay and berries from the garden and strung dried orange slices (which smell divine) into decoration like form and adorned them to the glistening silver twigs :)

 

Christmas nails :)

I didn't dress up this year for Christmas as I was still recovering from returning from hospy and a previous gathering but I really like this top, it's super soft and I plan to wear it under dresses

My wonderful (and Massive) Doggy and I

Look what turned up in my stocking ;)

 My main christmas gift :) If you don't follow me on twitter...have a guess and I may send you a prize for the most interesting guess , to enter- chlayfairy@gmail.com

Excuse me looking like a 6 year old....

In other news- I nearly ended up in hospital today, which was uber traumatic as it all kicked off at midnight, I have new hair to show you and look what I did for about 30 seconds on Christmas day

I'd also love to hear your thoughts on what you'd like to see on chlay.blogspot.com this year, so email away:)
